This is a Frame-Off, Bolt-by-Bolt, complete and full restoration of a prior one-owner vehicle. This truck looks better than it did the day it was born."

This was an unmolested one-owner truck when I bought it last year, and then drove it from Bullhead City, AZ to Dallas, TX without any trouble.  As good as it was then, the truck is better now that it has been completely disassembled and restored.  Every part of this truck is either new or rebuilt to like-new condition.  Every nut, bolt, bushing, washer, etc. has been replaced on this truck.  This is now a "new" old truck. 

Chassis was completely disassembled and then media-blasted and primed and painted with PPG epoxy to GM Chassis Black specs. All new chassis and suspension parts include new shocks, new front coil springs, new rear leaf springs and bushings, new sway bar bushings, new upper/lower ball joints, new upper/lower control arm bushings, new engine mounts, new transmission mount, re-tubed and balanced drive shaft, new U-Joints and Carrier Bearing.  Differential is the original Dana 60, 12-bolt rear end. 

Engine is a 350 GM Crate from 1993 that was completely rebuilt with new pistons/rocker arms/rods/lifters, carb/intake/electric choke, RV cam, and HEI Ignition/Distributor.  OEM exhaust manifolds have been ceramic coated, with new 2 1/4" dual exhaust system and Magna-Flo mufflers.  The alternator, P/S pump, water pump, fuel pump, and fan clutch are all new/rebuilt.  Transmission is the original TH350 and was rebuilt for this restoration.  The Power Brake booster and master cylinder are also new.

Factory A/C includes new evaporator, new OEM GM/Delco compressor, all new A/C hoses, and new blower motor.

The interior is all new interior including new color-matched OEM door panels with new handles, seat cover, carpet, instrument panel bezel, steering wheel, dash pad, sun visors, and rear view mirror.  New door & ignition are matched to same key.  Original AM Push-button radio.  Windshield, rear glass, and side vent glass are new.

All body parts were disassembled and individually media-blasted and primed.  Body parts that were replaced include new front fenders and new door rocker panels, and only a few minor body repairs were needed for this truck.  Bed is as straight as it gets.  All body parts were individually painted in original OEM colors, and then reassembled. All chrome body trim is new, with new chrome bumpers and turn lenses, new tail light lenses and trim, and new body side lights.

Also have the original Build Sheet, Protect-O-Plate w/New Vehicle Warranty, Service Parts ID Sheet, Original Owner's Manual, and many work receipts from the original owner, and all of the work that was done to restore this truck.

This is a fresh restoration that was just finished in July 2013.  It has been, and still is, kept in a garage.  It drives great and has a magnificent low rumble with the new exhaust system.  An eye-catching truck and great daily driver. 

If you are ready for a truck you can enjoy and not have to work on, then you have found it.  Good luck bidding, and thank you.
